What Is The Cure For Swollen Knuckles Of A 15 Year Old Child?

My 15 year old son has oddly swollen knuckles on the 2nd joint on his fingers. No pain or stiffness but the tip & first joint of his fingers look like they belong to a different hand; slim and tapered. His palms are broad and his dad has big joints but his hands look very odd with slim tips and large 2nd joints. Any thoughts?
